Clark: Bush lacks will to find bin Laden

In a blistering critique of the commander in chief, Clark said that "capturing Saddam Hussein doesn't change the fact that Osama bin Laden is still on the loose."

"If I'd been president, I would have had Osama bin Laden by this time," Clark said at a news conference in Concord, New Hampshire, where he was campaigning for votes in the nation's first primary, January 27.

How many people believed Saddam was killed on the first night of the war in his palace? Or in the restaurant that we bombed? That was more convincing then believing Osama has to be dead because we bombed some caves in Tora Bora. Even our troops and the Northern Alliance soldiers searched those caves for Osama and found nothing.

I can't prove he is alive, for all I know he had a heart attack or something, but until I see something concrete I will believe he is still alive.

[Cicero]

He was pretty good at bombing hospitals, trains, apartment buildings, dams, and refugee columns.

He also did a great job providing the armor that burned the children at Waco.

Why don't we have Bin Laden, General? Oh yeah, because your P.O.S. former boss passed up the one easy opportunity we had to get him, that's why.

[Mercat]

"I'm grossed out everytime I see this non-blinking lizard stare into the camera. His appearance is one of not being trusworthy"

I noticed the non-blinking. How does he do that? Is he a cyborg?

[TomGuy]

So, Clark is calling Mattie a liar and GWB doesn't really have OBL on ice, waiting to bring him out for the best political advantage.

The Dems need to get on the same page. Terry Mc needs to make sure they each get the right daily talkingpoints memo.

[F.J. Mitchell]

Clark is beginning to sound like Barney Fife.

[Callahan]

I don't think Clarkies' Lefty admirers are going to take kindly to his new "tough guy" approach. Doesn't he realize that Osama was framed by the BFEE and Saddam deserves a pension, not the death penalty.

[Fenris6]

Not for nothing that his superior officers damned him as having moral and ethical problems.

Of greater concern, Clarke appears unable to recognize the priority of taking down Iraqi WMD dispersal programs while Bin Laden was still hiding in the caves.

General's are supposed to have more tactical & strategic sense than this. What a loser.

"If I'd been president, I would have had Osama bin Laden by this time,"

That statement is on the same maturity level as: "my daddy can beat your daddy!"

[BurtS188]

It doesn't matter to Terry Mc. He'll just decide that they kept Osama on ice so that the dems could shoot their mouth off and sound like they didn't know what they were talking about.

Didn't you know? Everything President Bush does is motivated by political maneuvering. After all, that's what they learned from the last president.

[TalBlack]

Sure Wes could get Bin Laden, all he'd have to do is pen him up in a house in Texas and then roll some Tanks against it!

[BurtS188]

Haven't you read the New York Times? They don't have WMD's!!

Silly. ;-)

[Roscoe Karns]

"Bush will rob us of our precious bodily fluids."

[JennysCool]

Let's not forget this little incident as recounted in USA Today a month or so ago ...

Clark said he hadn't seen the evidence of Saddam's war crimes, a comment that prompted adviser Chris Lehane to slip him a folded note. "You should make clear that Saddam is a bad guy," the note read. Clark glanced at the note but didn't return to the topic.

[Califelephant]

"If I'd been president, I would have had Osama bin Laden by this time,"

It would have taken more gonads to say, "Elect me president, and I'll get Osama." At least that's a statement that there's a very, very faint possibility he might have to answer for at some point in the future.

But any statement that includes the words "I would have" can never be proven to be either true or false, and as such is worthless -- worthless like Wesley.

[Unmarked Package]

I noticed the non-blinking. How does he do that?

In nature, snakes have fused, transparent eyelids so they appear to be constantly staring. Sort of a creepy coincidence, don't you think?

[isom35]

that silly wabbitt Clark. doesnt he know that we already have bin laden, buy we wont announce it until around convention time next year?

[billhilly]

But, former secretary of State, Madilyn Halfbright has suggested that Bin Laden is already in captivity, and is only waiting to be used as a political tool at the appropriate time for President Bush.

Is there any doubt why republicans are on the acendency now?

Please excuse my obvious spelling deficiency.

[cajun-jack]

weasley clark has lack of integrity or he wouldn't have been dusted, busted or rusted like he was.

he needs to just keep wearing his kneepads and saying yassuh massa hillry and yas ma'am miz bill.

[A CA Guy]

What does Clark know for sure outside of the fact he will lose the race...NOTHING!
